  • the moving handrail 8 of the above-described arrangement even the adoption of a low-friction portion having particularly low friction properties as the above-described low-friction portion (low-friction member 16) does not affect the function of driving the moving handrail 8. That is, as the low-friction portion, it is possible to adopt materials having exceedingly low friction properties, such as fluororesin fibers, which were incapable of being adopted in conventional canvases. For this reason, it becomes possible to substantially reduce the sliding resistance which occurs due to the sliding of the moving handrail 8 on the guide rail 13 from conventional levels. Furthermore, because of the small sliding resistance, also the operating condition of the moving handrail 8 becomes stable for a long period.

  • the moving handrail 8 in this embodiment it is possible to solve such problems. For this reason, even when a woven or knitted fabric and the like formed from fluororesin fibers for which adhesion to the core body 14 is difficult is adopted as the low-friction member 16, it is possible to positively prevent the exfoliation of the low-friction member 16 and it is possible to extend the life of the moving handrail 8.

For this reason, it is desirable to perform the adhesion treatment of the tensile bodies 15 before the forming of the handrail main body and to cause the fixing resin 18 to adhere to a resin and the like constituting the core body 14 rather than performing the adhesion treatment of the tensile bodies 15 during the forming of the handrail main body. By adopting such a manufacturing method, it becomes possible to simplify equipment and to stabilize products.
